After a drought watch was issued last week by the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection to thirty-three Pennsylvania counties, including here in Beaver County, Pennsylvania American Water is calling for its customers to use less water that is nonessential. According to a release from the company on Tuesday, people should reduce their used water by about ten to fifteen percent, which comes out close to a range of eleven to sixteen gallons each day. Here are some of the ways that Pennsylvania American Water suggest for water conservation: using both washing machines and dishwashers when they are full only, fixing house leaks, to water down your lawn only if it is necessary, replace a hose for cleaning your porch with a broom, and when washing dishes or brushing your teeth, leave the tap off.
